Report: Apple strikes out of baseball coverage on Apple TV+, Friday Night Baseball to end

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-11-15 03:28:43

A package of MLB baseball rights are currently up for grabs. As recently as last week, Apple was said to be a front runner to land expanded baseball streaming coverage. But according to Yahoo Sports reporter Kendall Baker, that is no longer the case. According to the report, Apple has elected to exit its relationship with Major League Baseball altogether. That means it will add no new Sunday games, and it also implicates the future of Friday Night Baseball. Friday Night Baseball currently strea

Unsealed Apple Pay ruling explains Fintiv’s Texas retreat and weakens new Georgia case

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-15 11:55:04

A newly unsealed opinion shows why Apple had little patience for Fintiv’s long-running claims in Texas. As it turns out, after seven years of litigation, Fintiv still could not point to any evidence that Apple Pay or Apple Wallet ever used the kind of “widget” described in its patent. That finding explains the company’s abrupt retreat in Texas and bodes poorly for its latest attempt to profit off Apple Pay in Georgia. Why Fintiv’s Texas claims collapsed Judge Alan Albright, who oversees one of

What iPad mini & iPadOS 26 can teach us about the future of iOS

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC, I rushed to install the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro. And for the first time in years, it felt like Apple was finally putting iPad users first. We got features we’ve been asking for since iPadOS split from iOS: a fresh new look, Mac-like windowing, a smarter Files app, and more. But what surprised me wasn’t the iPad Pro experience. It was just how many iPads supported all of these features, including the iPad mini. After installing iPadOS 26 on

Is the Camera Control button one of the biggest iPhone flops? [Poll]

A random report from an account with zero track-record for anything claims that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button as too few people are using it. The claim is entirely meaningless, but I strongly suspect that it’s right in one respect: that hardly anyone is using the feature … The Camera Control button was introduced in the two iPhone 16 Pro models a little under a year ago, and Apple made a pretty big deal of it at the time.

They might be nearly three years old at this point, but Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds around for a reason, and right now they’re down to $169 on Amazon. That’s a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-canceling in-ears. Apple’s flagship AirPods were $100 off — a record-low $149 — during Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale period, Amazon’s current deal is worth considering.
